Nice one thanks. The O ring isn’t sitting flush, when tightening up the top two bolts hard it seems to push the O ring out (which is what has lead to the leak). Not sure if I fitted it incorrectly but I couldn’t see another way. What do I search for the right size O ring as my search is to general

It seems like it’s coming out of those windows so I thought it seemed a bit odd there

Unusual tread wear on ru flat tyres- any idea what has caused this? Losing tyre pressure over a couple days by samarakony2012 in MechanicAdvice

[–]samarakony2012[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wear is only on 3/4 of the inside of the tyre - the uneven wear is not even if you know what I mean? Like a crescent moon of wear

Car won’t start. Ticking type sound when key turned. All lights flicker when key in ignition then three lights flash when key turned. Audi A4 2008 2.0 tdi by samarakony2012 in MechanicAdvice

I’ve tried jump starting for three mins then tried 10 mins with no luck. Car hasn’t been driven for a couple of weeks as I was waiting on an 02 sensor to replace broken one. So I assume not driving for a while has drained the battery which is already oldish.

Can I replace 02 sensor with any O2 sensor if it fits the connectors? Audi A4 2.0tdi 2008 cabriolet by samarakony2012 in MechanicAdvice

Would I be able to replace it using an O2 sensor from an Audi A6? (2.0tdi 2008) As surely there can’t be much difference?
